Definitions

  • This invention relates to a window for vehicles such as school buses, and in particular, relates to a window which can be fully opened to serve as an emergency exit from such vehicles.
  • emergency exits clearly require specially designed hardware and other components, and therefore, are very expensive. Furthermore, specialized emergency exit facilities, such as those described above, may become damaged during an accident rendering them non-functional, in which case the availability of emergency exits can be dangerously reduced.
  • window sashes and hatches which are hinged is that they tend to swing closed and thereby hinder passage through the openings they provide.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide an emergency exit window which provides unobstructed egress from a vehicle.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a window for school buses having emergency exit capability which can be used throughout the school bus, thereby substantially increasing the number of emergency exits.
  • Still another object of the present invention is to provide an emergency exit window which can be easily moved to the fully open position.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide an emergency exit window which can be quickly moved to the fully open position from any other position, i.e. fully closed or partially open.
  • an emergency exit window which has two bolt type spring-loaded latches carried by the upper part of a window pane.
  • the bolt type latches engage ratchets or stops which are part of the window frame surrounding the pane.
  • the latches may normally be operated by hand in such a way that a user can insert his or her fingers into recesses formed in the latches and move the latches laterally towards each other to disengage the latches from various stops.
  • the window normally moves between a fully closed position and a half-open (fully venting) position.
  • an emergency handle located at the center of the top portion of the window pane can be used to move the latches such that the window can assume a fully opened position.
  • the emergency exit handle is used to apply tension to a cable which is connected to the latches. Rotation of the emergency handle causes the latches to move an amount which is greater than the amount of movement able to be achieved when the latches are manipulated individually by hand. When the window is in the fully open position, the latches engage reverse stops which prevent the window from inadvertently closing in the event the bus is overturned.
  • FIG. 1 is a front elevational view of a window of the present invention in the fully closed position
  • FIG. 2 is a front elevational view of a window of the present invention in the half-open or fully venting position
  • FIG. 3 is a front elevational view of a window of the present invention showing rotation of the emergency handle
  • FIG. 4 is a front elevational view of a window of the present invention in the fully open position
  • FIG. 5 is an elevational view of the emergency handle of the present invention.
  • FIG. 6 is an end view of the handle as shown in FIG. 5;
  • FIG. 7 is an elevational view of a latch of the present invention.
  • FIG. 8 is an end view of the latch shown in FIG. 7.
  • FIG. 1 shows a window pane 10 and frame 12 of the present invention.
  • a right hand latch 14 and a left hand latch 16 are carried by the top portion of the pane 10 and are held in place by a latch cover 18.
  • the latch cover 18 also supports an emergency handle 20 mounted at the center of the top portion of the pane 10.
  • the latches 14 and 16 are spring biasedvia springs 14a and 16a respectively and further engage intermediate stops 24 and main stops 26 which are located on the right and left side of the window frame 12.
  • the stops 24 and 26 hold the window at various ventilating positions.
  • the stops 24, 26 are carried in the vertical rails shown generally at 12a and 12b .
  • the top stops 27 hold the window in a closed position.
  • At the bottom of the left and right sides of the window frame 12 are bottom stops 28 and inversion stops 29.
  • the emergency handle 20 is used to move the latches past the main stops 26 to allow the window to assume the fully open position, and to allow the latches 14 and 16 to engage the bottom stops 28.
  • the latch cover18 has latch rail openings 23 which allow a user to manipulate the latches 14 and 16.
  • FIG. 2 shows the window pane 10 in a half-open or fully venting position.
  • Latch bolts 52 and 53 are resting on the main stops 26.
  • the main stops 26 protrude inwardly farther than the intermediate stops 24.
  • the enlarged size of the main stops 26 prevent movement of the pane 10 past the main stops 26, unless the emergency handle is used as shown in FIG. 3.
  • the extent of the latch rail openings 23 relative to the position of the latches 14 and 16 is such that the latch bolts 52 and 53 cannot be moved by individual manipulation past the main stops 26.
  • FIG. 2 shows a switch 50 mounted to the inside sidewall of the bus just below the reach of the pane 1? when it is in the half-open position.
  • the bottom edge 11 of the pane 10 engages a switch 50 upon movement of the pane 10 below the half-open position, a movement which, as discussed below, can only occur when the emergency handle 20 is used to activate the latches 14 and 16. Engagement between the pane 10 and the switch 50 signals the driver to lethim know that the window is being moved to an emergency or fully open position.
  • FIG. 3 shows how the emergency handle may be used to move the latch bolts 52 and 53 out of engagement with the main stops 26.
  • the emergency handle 20 is comprised of a ring 30 forming an opening 31 inthe lower portion of the handle.
  • the upper part of the handle 20 includes acable tensioning section 32.
  • a rear finger 36 extends upwardly from the ring 30.
  • the finger 36 has a horizontal fingertip 37 which is arcuate on its underside.
  • a front finger 38 is on the opposite side of the slot 34.
  • the front finger 38 also has a horizontally extending fingertip 39 which is rounded on its underside.
  • a forward deflector 40 with handle stop 42 extends from the front of the emergency handle 20.
  • the stop 42 has a vertical dimension generally larger than the diameter of the cable 25 so that upon rotation of the handle 20, the stop 42 will engage the top panelof the latch cover 18, thus preventing the cable from becoming pinched between the deflector 40 and the latch cover 18.
  • the handle has a pivot ring 44 with six support ribs 46 extending radially therefrom.
  • the support ribs 46 provide the pivot ring with increased rigidity, since, as shown in FIG. 3, the emergency handle 20 is supported substantially entirely by engagement between the pivot ring 44 and the pivot pin 21.
  • Opposite ends of the cable25 are attached to the latches 14 and 16.
  • the cable is wound circuitously through six rounded deflection points, three of which are fixed and three of which are moving parts of the emergency handle 20.
  • the latches 14 and 16 have two ways by which they may be actuated. The first is by direct use of the finger recess 54. This first method of actuation is used only to raise and lower the window pane in normal use between the fully closed position (FIG. 1) and the half-open position (FIG. 2). The second method of actuation of the latches 14 and 16 is by the emergency handle 20. This second method of actuation is useable to move the window past the main stops 26 into the fully open position (FIG. 3). Both the first and second methods of actuating the latches result in laterally inward movement of the latches.
  • FIG. 4 shows the window at rest in the fully open position.
  • a typical window of the present invention will provide a clear opening of about 18.2 inches (vertical) by about 23.75 inches (horizontal). Such an opening is clearly more than adequate for children, and is sufficient for adults.
  • the bolts 52 and 53 are disposed between thebottom stops 28 and the inversion stops 29.
  • the inward extent ofthe inversion stops 29 is such that the finger recesses 54 can be used to move the bolts 52 and 53 so that the bolts may be pushed past the inversion stops 29.
  • the window thus may be moved to a ventilating or fullyclosed position.
  • the catch post 48 on the right portion of the ring 30 (seeFIG. 5) is used to retain the emergency handle 20 in its horizontal position.
  • a substantial advantage of the present invention is its simplicity of design, the economics of which enable the window of the present invention to be used throughout a vehicle, not merely at a few strategic locations. This provides a significant increase in the number of possible emergency exits available to passengers.
  • the simplicity of the design makes the operation of the window easy to understand, so that even young, unsophisticated or infirm passengers can move the window to the emergency or fully open position simply by pulling downwardly on the emergency handle.
